The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea , First Chairman of the NDC of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army is a very distinguished leader who is making his mark on the world. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is leading the struggle to build a thriving socialist country, reunify the country and achieve global independence under the banner of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is following in the footsteps of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. He is carrying their ideas and theories to a new higher level.
Recently ,on the 25th of September 2012, the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un struck a silent but deadly blow against the imperialists and reactionaries that was just as powerful as a nuclear test. The imperialists, reactionaries and revisionists, those forces of evil , had spread rumours that the 6th session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly would adopt laws on "economic reform" and " reform of agriculture" which would lead to the eventual negation of Juche-based socialism in the DPRK (just as "reform" "opening up" , "perestroika" , "glasnost" and "new realism" destroyed other socialist countries and communist parties). Of course it goes without saying that those people who study the works of the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and actually visit the DPRK now that such things cannot be true nevertheless the imperialists and reactionaries vainly entertained such a hope and spread rumours such certain measures would be announced . All eyes were on the DPRK on the 25th of September, which road would it take ? what would happen. The imperialists and their mates the revisionists and renegades got bitter disappointment, no "reforms" instead the SPA took a bold decisive and progressive measurement it announced the enforcement of the 12th year universal compulsory education. The DPRK is the first country in the world to do so , it is taking a leap into the future. It is significant that this measure was announced at a time when the capitalist countries are actually cutting educational expenditure and a generation of NEETS("Not in Education, Employment or Training" ) is growing up without hope for the future. The introduction of 12 year compulsory will speed up the progress towards a thriving socialist country.
Imperialism suffered a big massive and setback in is plans to destroy Juche-based socialism . The imperialists were left reeling with defeat , only to crawl back to drown their sorrows in bars and dens of decadence. The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is making sure that the DPRK is holding to the path of independence, Songun and socialism.
In August dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un surprised the world by visiting frontline units in the West Sea unexpectedly and giving the order for the KPA not only to retaliate but to go into action with the aim of achieving the sacred aim of reunification. This was a powerful bombshell that shocked the US imperialists , south Korean puppets and satellite states of USimperialism. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is brave supreme commander totally unfazed in the face of the enemy , prepared to risk his own life to visit his soldiers who defend the country on the frontline against the enemy. The DPRK is the only real socialist country in the world standing in fierce confrontation with US imperialism and the West Sea of Korea is literally the frontline between imperialism and socialism. Therefore the visit of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un to the frontline units in the West sea was a great international significance without precedent.
The Western imperialist media were surprised by the smooth and calm succession of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un to the supremeleadership of the DPRK . They remarked that his leadership system seemed well-established . In some countries there are often power struggles and internal conflict when leaders die or retire. Within the international communist movement and socialist countries great damage has been wrought by the fact that in many socialist countries the succession issue was not correctly solved. I witnessed personally in April 2012 and September 2012 the single-hearted unity around supreme leader Marshal Kim Jong Un. I saw the crowds wave and cheer with a resounding manse at the April 15th military parade.
Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is a great theoretician and thinker . In the first 8 months of 2012 he authored many speeches and articles such as "Let Us Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche,holding Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal general secretary of our party ", "Let Us March Forward Dynamically towards final victory holding higher the banner of Songun" "The Great Kim Il Sung is the Eternal Leader of Our Party and People", "On bringing about a revolutionary turn in land administration in line wth the demands for building a thriving socialist country", "Let Us Effect Kim Jong Il's Patriotism and Step Up the Building of a Prosperous Country" and "Only Victory and Glory Will be in store for us who are advancing under the unfurled flag bearing the beaming images of the Great Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il".
Great attention has been paid not only to defence building but also to the improvement of the people's living standards. In his speech on April 15 "Let UsMarch Forward Dynamically towards the final victory holding higher the banner of Songun " dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un stated that the people of the DPRK should "not have to tighten their belts again, but enjoy all the benefits of socialism ". Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has ensured that the people's living standards have improved. During the last few months the Rungna People's Pleasure Park, Ryugyong Health Complex and Changjon street have been completed. He visited families in Changjon street on the 4th of September and personally gave them gifts . Marshal Kim Jong Un is a true man of the people, a people's leader unknown anywhere else in the world. There are really deep ties between the dear respected comrade Kim Jong Un and the people.
Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is a leader of many talents and skills. He can drive a tank fast as well a ride a horse well. He is a man of culture . Under his guidance the wonderful "Moranbong " band has appeared . This performed a truly delightful performance on Victory Day on July 27th.
The Korean people are marching to victory , to a thriving socialist country, a paradise of the people, and to reunification under the leadership of the great respected Marshal Kim Jong Un. Not just the Korean people but the people of the world as great respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is striking blow after blow against imperialism and international reaction. Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the banner of the world revolution and great , dear , respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is the leader of the international communist and socialist movement . Dear respected leader Marshal Kim Jong Un is the leader of the era.

London 1st of October Juche 101(2012)
The ASSPUK and JISGE today issued the following statement on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the October 4th declaration between the DPRK and south Korea.
Without a doubt the declaration marked a major landmark in the struggle for
independent reunification . It fully embodied June 15 spirit for peaceful reunification of Korea and
embodied the concept of "By Our Nation Itself". It was a manifestation of the Juche-orientated theories of Korean national reunification. The conclusion of the October 4th declaration was the result of the tireless work of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il , a most profound
manifestation of his patriotism . Without the Songun politics of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il the declaration would not have been possible.

Since coming to power the Lee Myung Bak fascist puppets have negated the October 4th and June 15th declarations, wantonly trampling upon the spirit and letter of the inter-Korean declarations. They have committed hostile and anti patriotic acts too numerous too mention. Only by the overthrow of the Lee Myung Bak puppet regime can the spirit of "By Our Nation Itself " be realised.
We support the heroic struggle
of the south Korean people and patriots to realise the implementation of
the October 4th Declaration and also ensure the spirit of "By Our
Nation Itself " is embodied in all fields of life, this would include
the withdrawal of US troops. We are convinced that Korea will be reunified under the Songun revolutionary leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
London 29 September 2012
The
UK Korean Friendship Association s today issued a statement on the occasion of
the 5th anniversary of the signing of the October 4th joint declaration
of the DPRK and south Korea.
The October 4th
declaration cut a pathway through division and partition toward the cherished aim of independent reunification as well as inter-Korean co-operation . It was a development of the June 15 spirit for
peaceful reunification of Korea and embodied the concept of "By Our
Nation Itself".

Unfortunately the fascist Lee Myung Bak
regime has negated the October 4th Declaration and travelled a road of
depending on outside forces such as the US and Japan . The Lee regime have slandered the DPRK and insulted its supreme
leadership even going so far as to issue an order for a military alert during the mourning period for the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il.
Central to this
hostility is the reactionary concept of "unification by absorption" and inter system confrontation.
This theory is a negation of the October 4th Declaration and the June
15th declaration . The Lee Myung Bak clique has faked up all sorts of
false cases against the DPRK and have arrested pro reunification
patriots such as Mr Ro Su Hui and those who praise the socialist system of the DPRK .
We support the heroic struggle of the south Korean people and
patriots to realise the implementation of the October 4th Declaration
and also ensure the spirit of "By Our Nation Itself " is embodied in all
fields of life, this would include the withdrawal of US troops.

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK
London 30 September Juche 101 (2012)
The Association For the Study of Songun Politics and Juche Idea Study Group of England today issued the following statement in connection with the statement of by the Policy Dept of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK on Saturday 29th of September 2012.
We fully support the just and correct stance outlined in the statement made by the Policy Department of the DPRK NDC. The south Korea fascist puppets, who have doubtlessly put up to it by their US imperialist masters, have comitted profoundly serious provocations in the area of the West Sea which is well known as an area of high tension, an area that this the frontline between imperialism and socialism. The actions of the south Korean puppets are foolhardy and idiotic as they are outrageous . Do they know that they are playing with fire ?
The south Korean puppets should not underestimate the massive power of the Korean people's revolutionary armed forces with the glorious KPA at their core under the command of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un . The military potenial of the DPRK, under the Songun revolutionary leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un ,is massive and can wipe out any aggressor many times over. The DPRK has single-hearted unity and the people and army are ready to reunify the country once supreme commander Marshal Kim Jong Un gives the order.
Once again the miserable south Korean puppets are bleating about the so-called "northern limit line", which is bogus and has no legal validity whatsoever. If they continue to insist on an imaginary line drawn on a map by
a US commander then will come to grief . If they value peace they must drop their insistence on the "NLL" and cease making provocations in the West Sea.
If they persist in their provocations they will suffer a second and a third Yonphyong island !
We applaud the militant resolve of the DPRK NDC to defend every inch of the
inviolable Juche socialist country !

Pyongyang, September 29 (KCNA) -- The south Korean warmongers have
recently resorted to such military provocation of infiltrating warships
deep into the territorial waters of the DPRK near the five islands in
the West Sea of Korea almost every day.
They even opened fire at civilian fishing boats of other country, pushing the situation to the extremes.
Timed
to coincide with this, Park Geun Hye who declared her presidential
candidacy has gone so impudent as to call for maintaining the "northern
limit line".
The tensions created in the West Sea of Korea and the
ill-boding movements of the south Korean conservative politicians
arouse big concerns and fear inside and outside Korea.
A spokesman
for the Policy Department of the National Defence Commission (NDC) of
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave following answers to the
questions raised by KCNA Saturday as regards the prevailing situation:
As
the Southwestern Front Command of the Korean People's Army warned in
the strong terms, the south Korean puppet military warmongers' reckless
military provocations have created a touch-and-go situation in the West
Sea of Korea.
South Korean navy warships have intruded into the
territorial waters of the DPRK at the instigation of the U.S. master and
such an act has long gone beyond the tolerance limit.
In recent days they opened fire without prior warnings at peaceful fishing boats of other country though they were aware of it.
Now
the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and military warmongers of south
Korea are trying to justify all these frantic actions as measures for
defending the "northern limit line" and Park Geun Hye and other
ambitious politicians are using them for stepping up the presidential
campaign.
As already known by the world, military conflicts and
acute standoff have persisted in the West Sea of Korea and the region
has turned into the biggest hotspot. This is wholly attributable to the
brigandish moves of the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces to defend
the "northern limit line".
The "northern limit line" is the
illegal, ghostlike line which was drawn in the inviolable territorial
waters of the DPRK by the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces which
occupied south Korea under the helmet of the "UN Forces".
Their
acts remind one of a gangster who stretched a rotten straw rope in
other's yard without knowledge of the owner and insists that it is his
own yard.
Their insistence on the line, therefore, is just sophism
to justify their violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK and invasion
of its territory, and an open action of aggression to hurt the national
defence and security of the DPRK.
This is the very reason why the DPRK has so far maintained its invariable stand on the "northern limit line".
The
issue of undertaking joint fishing and setting up peaceful waters in
the West Sea of Korea clarified in the historic October 4 declaration is
one of the measures taken under the north-south agreement on the
premise that "the northern limit line" is illegal to all intents and
purposes.
Park Geun Hye's assertion that she would discuss the
issue agreed upon in the October 4 declaration on the premise of
"respecting the northern limit line" and outbursts let loose by puppet
government authorities in defence of the line are nothing but an
expression of ignorance of the background against which the north-south
joint agreement was signed and its contents.
Whoever truly wants
peace on the Korean Peninsula, not a war, should not go such reckless as
working hard to preserve the "northern limit line."
Going against
this stark need of the era, such "yusin" remnants as Park Geun Hye in
the south Korean political camp are working hard in every way to seize
power.
The call for preserving the "northern limit line" cannot be
construed otherwise than a declaration of confrontation and a war
drumbeat aimed to turn the West Sea of Korea into a theatre for
escalating the confrontation with compatriots and cause the repetition
of the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.
The army and the people
of the DPRK will thoroughly foil any attempt to turn the West Sea of
Korea into a theatre of confrontation, conflict and a war.
The
south Korean puppet forces should not forget even a moment that the
operational group on the southwestern front of the DPRK is highly
alerted on the eve of storm.
Their desperate efforts to preserve the illegal "northern limit line" will bring only death to them. -0-

Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism have now been acclaimed by the world people as well as the people of the DPRK as the great revolutionary ideology of our era. Today the Korean people under the Songun revolutionary leadership of great respected Marshal Kim Jong Un are building a thriving socialist country under the banner of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism. What is Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism ? Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the great revolutionary ideology developed by the great leader President Kim Il Sung and further enhanced by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il . The dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army defined Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as follows
" an
integral system of the idea, theory and method of Juche, and a great
revolutionary ideology representative of the Juche era. Guided by
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, we should conduct Party building and Party
activities, so as to sustain the revolutionary character of our Party
and advance the revolution and construction in line with the ideas and
intentions of the President and the General. "This is a classic definition of
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism the eternal guideline of the Workers' Party of
Korea and indeed the Democratic Peoples's Republic of Korea. It sums it up in a concise yet profound way. In the 1970s the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il developed Kimilsungism which had profound ideological and thereoctical contents which consisted of the the Juche idea, the Juche-orientated theory of revolution and the Juche-orientated leadership method. Later on leader Kim Jong Il fully systematised the Juche idea in his work of great renown "On the Juche Idea". Eternal Chairman Kim Jong Il in the late 80s and early 90s wrote many deep and perceptive works analysing the causes of the frustration of socialism in some countries. He also developed in depth the Songun politics and Songun idea which had been initiated by the great leader President Kim Il Sung. People began to speak of Kimjongilism but leader Kim Jong Il being very modest and a loyal disciple of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung strictly forbade the use of the term Kimjongilism pointing out that his ideas were the ideas of the great leader President Kim Il Sung Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is fully consistent with the Juche idea. It is the ideology of the Juche era which is different to all previous eras and epochs . Before the Juche era history was dominated and made by the exploiters , the ruling class. However the oppressed and exploited masses such as workers in capitalist countries and the peoples of colonial and semi-colonial emerged as the makers of history . Typical of this was was the emergence of the first socialist state in the world and the anti-imperialist national liberation struggle such as the anti-Japanese armed struggle led by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung.

It fully enshrines the ideas of the great leaders comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il . Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is a great revolutionary programme for the contuinity of revolutionary leadership and socialist construction in the DPRK. In the DPRK thanks to dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un instead of denying the ideas , theories and leadership of the precedinggreat leaders President Kim Il Sung and general Kim Jong Il, their theories have been elevated a new higher level , Kimilsungism -Kimjongilism .Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has vowed that there should no concession in adhering to the revolutionary ideas of the great leader President Kim Il Sung and the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. Under the banner of Kimilsungism -Kimjongilism the DPRK will advance along the road of independence,Songun and socialism and win victory after victory.ASSPUKJISGE

Pyongyang, September 28 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee
for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) released information
bulletin No. 1011 Friday.
It says:
The puppet regime of
south Korea put to use defectors to the south, die-hard ultra-right
conservatives and reactionary moviemen to produce and put on show films
slandering the DPRK's human rights performance as part of its smear
campaign against the DPRK.
Under the manipulation of the regime,
the riff-raffs of the "Network for Democracy of North Korea", an
anti-DPRK plot-breeding organization, held the "second film festival on
the human rights performance of north" in Seoul shortly ago. They put on
the screen nine films dealing with the "life of defectors from the
north" and "state of concentration camps", malignantly slandering the
human rights performance in the DPRK.
The "People for Making
Successful Unification", another anti-DPRK human rights organization,
held the special preview of "48M" allegedly produced by a defector to
the south in the presence of ambassadors and envoys of various countries
and members of NGOs at the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva on
Sept. 14.
The organization also held a meeting to hear "testimonies."
The
puppet regime also showed those films at U.S. Congress and in European
countries and presented them even to international film festivals in
alignment with the human rights plotters of the U.S. and Europe.
The
puppet regime's ever-more undisguised anti-DPRK human rights campaign
is another traitorous and anti-reunification frenzy to hurt the daily
increasing dignity of the DPRK and incite the consciousness of
confrontation with fellow countrymen among the south Koreans.
The
Secretariat strongly denounces the puppet regime's anti-DPRK farce as a
blatant challenge to the DPRK's dignity and social system and a sordid
act aimed to quench the spirit for reunification through alliance with
the north mounting among south Koreans of all social standings and
incite confrontation with fellow countrymen.
The army and people
in the DPRK are opening up the heyday of prosperity in which they will
lead a happy life in the socialist society in single-minded unity under
the wise guidance of the illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu.
The
people are leading a genuine life under the loving care of the
peerlessly great man who brings into bloom the legends of love for the
people while making tireless devotion to the country and the nation.
They are bringing about fresh miracles and renovation in building a
great prosperous and powerful nation with hope and confidence. This is
the stirring situation of the DPRK.
This being a hard fact, the
puppet regime has used human scum bereft of elementary conscience and
dignity for kicking up false propaganda by distorting the situation in
the DPRK. It is even abusing film arts for escalating confrontation with
the DPRK.
Such hysterical act of the regime is a mockery and
insult to the film arts which is a product of modern civilization and
which is obliged to reflect justice, truth and noble human life.
The puppet regime's sordid act clearly proves to what extent its frenzy for confrontation with the DPRK has reached.
It
is trying to attain its dirty criminal attempt by using human scum, who
betrayed the country and the people as well as their own blood
relatives for their own indolence and luxury, and the parasitic
riff-raffs. This proves that the regime is also made up of the same
human scum and confrontation maniacs as those defectors.
The south
Korean regime is setting the stage for all kinds of dirty farces,
distorting the truth in the DPRK and tarnishing its image in a bid to
garner supporting votes at the upcoming "presidential election." But no
one will lend an ear to it.
The regime's act only betrays its base
nature, moral vulgarity and low level of civilization. It will get
public censure and disillusion from it.
We will never let those
involved in producing and showing anti-DPRK films, to say nothing of the
south Korean authorities, go scot-free but sternly punish them in the
name of the nation. -0-

Well all the imperialists, reactionaries and revisionists have been greatly disappointed because instead of announcing economic reforms and Agricultural reforms the 6th session of the 12th SPA instead announcing the introduction of 12 year universal compulsory education ! This puts the DPRK ahead of the capitalist countries in the educational field.

Tuesday, 25 September 2012

The ASSPUK,JISGE and UK KFA today issued the following joint statement in connection with the ordinance on enforcing 12 year universal compulsory education issued by the 6th session of the 12 Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK.
On hearing the news that 12 year compulsory education is to be introduced in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea we feel great excitement. The DPRK is the only country in the world to introduce 12 year compulsory education free of charge. This measure puts the DPRK ahead of the so-called advanced capitalist countries . The DPRK is increasing public expenditure including educational spending at a time when the capitalist countries such as the UK are mired in " austerity " and are cutting public spending. It will give the children and young people of the DPRK even greater opportunities to fully develop their talents and creative abilities. This is such a contrast to the capitalist countries in which a generation of young people are having their lives blighted and many young people are "neither in employment ,education or training".
Such a bold and progressive measure as extending school education by 1 year is possible only in the DPRK where the Juche idea has made the people masters of everything and genuine people-orientated policies are being pursued under the wise leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN a true people's leader in every sense of the word.

The enforcement of 12 year compulsory education in the DPRK is fully consistent with the demands of the knowledge based economy and the IT era. It will create a springboard for a great leap forward to a great thriving socialist
country that will be the envy of the people of the world.

Pyongyang, September 25 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak regime of
south Korea is stepping up the construction of a naval base on Jeju
Island.
The regime is contemplating turning Jeju Island into a
large naval base capable of simultaneously ensuring the anchorage of
more than 20 Aegis destroyers, each of 7 000 ton class, and even the
entry and departure of nuclear carriers till 2015.
This is a grave
criminal move to push the military tension and danger of a nuclear war
prevailing in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia to an
extreme phase, zealously pursuant to the U.S. imperialists' strategy to
dominate the world.
The naval base on Jeju Island is a bridgehead
and nuclear outpost for implementing the U.S. strategy of attaching
importance to the Asia-Pacific region.
The U.S. has long kept its eyes on Jeju Island in a bid to build a new overseas military stronghold there.
Jeju
Island just 500km away from Shanghai, China, as the crow flies, is
regarded as a strategic fortress capable of controlling and blockading
different waterways in the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. has zealously
egged the south Korean puppet regime on to build a naval base on the
island with the calculation that if it puts the island under its
control, it will be possible to further escalate the military and
economic pressure upon the peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia.
The
construction of the naval base started in 1995 but it had long been put
off due to the protest of south Koreans. It has made rapid progress
since the Lee group came to power.
The U.S. pressurized the puppet
regime to undertake all aspects of construction project including
design and construction in such a way as to turn the naval base into a
full-fledged base for nuclear carriers. By doing so, it brought to
bolder relief its black-hearted intention to make Jeju Island a center
for carrying out its strategy to dominate Asia.
It, at the same
time, selected the naval base construction as a link in the chain
efforts to build a missile shield linking Phyongthaek, Inchon, Kunsan
and Kwangju, thus putting into practice its military blackmail against
the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia.
The group of
traitors seeks to turn the island into a maritime strategic fortress
just like the U.S. naval bases in Hawaii and Guam, pursuant to its
policy. This scenario is aimed at expanding its operational radius
toward open sea while escalating the military threat to the DPRK.
The
Jeju Island naval base construction is nothing but a product of
collusion between the U.S. keen to realize its strategy for dominating
the world and the puppet regime hell-bent on the moves to escalate the
confrontation with fellow countrymen with the backing of the U.S., their
master.
The regime asserted that the base is "a combined base for
civilian and military ships" and "a fresh driving force for growth."
But when it was disclosed that the project was premised on ensuring the
entry and departure of nuclear carriers, it said that the naval base
construction was aimed to swim with the "trend of making ships
large-sized." This is nothing but sophism intended to cover up its
sinister aims.
It is as clear as noonday that the military tension
and the danger of a nuclear war will further escalate in the peninsula
and the rest of Northeast Asia in case a large naval base allowing the
entry and departure of U.S. nuclear carriers is built on Jeju Island.
All
facts go to prove that the U.S. is an arch criminal wantonly
threatening the peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and the
puppet regime is the top-class pro-U.S. stooge unprecedented in history
and a nuclear-war servant.
Intolerable are the regime's moves to turn Jeju Island into a nuclear outpost for the U.S.
The
army and people of the DPRK will counter with merciless self-defence
measures the last-ditch efforts of Lee Myung Bak and the "Saenuri Party"
to bring the dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over the nation in
league with outside forces. -0-

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK
http://www.uk-songun.com/index.php

London 24 September Juche 101
The ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA issued the following joint statement in connection with the recent provocation action of the south Korean puppets in the West Sea of Korea.
We strongly denounce the heinous, and utterly idiotic, provocation committed by the south Korean puppet navy in the waters of the West Sea on Friday 21st of September.
This incident fully showed the war-like and aggressive nature of the south Korean puppet military (who act under the instigation and control of the United States ) who not only intruded into the territorial waters of the DPRK but fired on the innocent fishing vessels of a third country.
The incident was also a result of the farcical insistence by the south Korean puppet authorities on the so-called "northern limit line" which is not recognised by the DPRK and indeed has no validity in international law.
Clearly provocations such as this one strain the situation on the Korean peninsula to breaking point , bringing it near to conditions in which a second Korean war could break out . Such a war would not just have catastrophic consequences not just for Korea but for the whole world as such as a war could quickly spread beyond the confines of Korea and the Asia-Pacific region.
We fully support the stand of the DPRK clarified in the statements of the South Western Front Command of the Korean People's Army on the 22nd of September and the Committee For the Peaceful Reunification of Korea on the 24th of September.
The south Korean puppet regime must cease its foolhardy provocations against the DPRK and end forthwith its insistence on the fictitious "northern limit line".

FOUNDATION STATEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE RELEASE OF MR RO SU HUI
We are founding this international committee for the
release of Mr Ro Su Hui because we are deeply shocked by unjust and
repressive treatment meted out to him by south Korean authorities .
Mr Ro Su Hui vice-chairman of the south side headquarters of the
Pan-National Alliance for Korea's Reunification was arrested, on the 5th
of July, as he stepped into south Korea after visiting the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea.
Mr Ro was
arrested and detained by the south Korean fascist puppets under the
so-called "National Security Law" of south Korea. The NSL punishes south
Korean people for visiting north Korea or sympathising with it in
anyway. The NSL is fascist
and a throwback to a by-gone era. The NSL is very much reminiscent of Nazi Germany , 1950s McCarthyite America and Apartheid south Africa. The NSL is also a block to inter-Korean relations, reconciliation and and reunification.
Mr Ro has committed no crime whatsoever. He simply visited one part of
his own country which has been artificially divided by outside forces
(chiefly US imperialism). We ask why is the south Korean regime so
afraid of its people visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ?.

Our
demands are simple and straightforward - the unconditional release of
Mr Ro Su Hui and the dropping of any charges against him.

Our committee will do what it can to raise the international profile of this horrendous case and exposes the real human rights abuses on the Korean
peninsula.

On
9th
September 9th 2012, the Korean people and world progressive opinion
will be celebrating the sixty fourth anniversary of the foundation of
the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. This year the anniversary of
the Republic is even more significant, as it falls during the centenary
year of the birth of the DPRK's founder, President KIM IL SUNG. President KIM IL SUNG was
the architect of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea from the
moment of the establishment of the Republic on 9th September, 1948 up to
the period of the tragic passing away of the Respected President.KIM IL SUNG's constant
attention was for the effort to provide lasting welfare and happiness
to the Korean people and most importantly, to give the Korean
nation.genuine sovereignty and independence.

The
Democratic
Peoples Republic of Korea was formed after many decades
of fierce struggle against Japanese colonialism. Only three years when
Korea had been liberated on 15th August 1945, that a Democratic Peoples
State was setup by President KIM IL SUNG. On September 9th 1948, state power was
in the hands of the Korean people, that the workers, peasants and intellectuals became the masters of the liberated nation. KIM IL SUNG's underlying
principle in establishing the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea was
the patriotic unity of all the Korean people for the task of building an
independent country. To overcome the division of Korea has always been
the top priopity of the DPRK Government from its foundation to the present day.

Since
its creation, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea has made many
outstanding achievements in the fields of ideology, politics, the
economy, culture and education. With the Cholima spirit the DPRK carried
out industrialization in 14 years and cooperatized and technicalized agriuculture.
As a result the DPRK established a socialist system where the
population enjoy the rights to all forms of free education and health
care. Social wealth and production relations within the DPRK belong to
the Korean people, not to the IMF, the World Bank and
multi-national corporations. Peoples Korea does
not experience such phenomenon such as unemployment , hyper-inflation
and debt crises. The DPRK was the first country in the world to
abolish taxation by the decree enacted by the third session of the fifth
Supreme Peoples Assembly.

Chairman KIM JONG IL throughout his lifetime devoted his endeavours to making the DPRK, a great, powerful
and prosperous socialist country. KIM JONG IL developed during
the intensive activity to build Socialist Korea as the thriving nation,
the concept of the politics of Love and Trust. With the leadership of KIM JONG IL, the
DPRK entered the stage of the scientific and technological revolution.
US imperialism has attempted for well over 67 years to isolate and
destroy the independent socialist system and territorial integrity of
the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. The
Songun revolutionary leadership of great KIM JONG IL has ensured the survival and growth of Korean style socialism.

The
cause of safeguarding and perfecting the social-political system of the
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is being carried on by the
First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, KIM JONG UN.KIM JONG UN is loyally upholding the legacy of nation building by President KIM IL SUNG and Chairman KIM JONG IL. The aim of constructing a thriving socialist country, where the Korean people will want for nothing, is the intention of KIM JONG UN. Under KIM JONG UN's guidance,
the DPRK is becoming the leading nation in terms of science and
technology. Peoples Korea will maintain and persevere its
Juche character and its independent essence with the dear respected
Comrade KIM JONG UN at the head of the party, the state and the army.

The
Stoke On Trent Branch of the Juche Idea Study Group of Britain calls
upon all anti-imperialists
and socialists, peace campaigners and trade unionists to celebrate the
64th anniversary of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea and rejoice
in the success of the independent and heroic Korean people. The
Democratic People Republic of Korea stands as a beacon to humanity, as a
society of social justice and equality, free from the interference and
domination of the hegemonists.

GLORY TO THE 64TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF KOREA, MOTHERLAND OF THE JUCHE IDEA!!

Leader Kim
Jong Il did not overlook
every positive deed of people, but spoke highly of many units and
brought up ordinary people into heroes of the era and innovators.

Here is a story on the first
hero work-team all members of which became heroes on the same day.

One day in 1973 Kim
Jong Il received a report
from an official about the positive deed of the members of the
Excavator No.7 Work-team of the Kumsan pit in the Ryongyang Mine.

The miners of the work-team
fulfilled their annual assignments ahead of schedule for 10 years,
increasing the per capita output value 12 times and the excavator’s
capacity 10 times while reducing the number of work-team members from
26 to 9.

Studying while working, all the
work-team members grew into engineers or associate engineers. They
also handed over their stope to a backward work-team and made a
collective innovation in an unfavorable stope.

Kim Jong Ilwas satisfied with
the fact that not a few members, but the collective performed
heroism, saying such a revolutionary spirit can be displayed only in
DPR Korea where the Juche idea was embodied in all fields of social
life.

Then, he reported on it to
President Kim Il Sung.

Some days later Kim
Jong Il called the
official and said President Kim Il
Sung was glad so much for
the first time in many days.

He went on to say: If the
workers are all prepared like them, the revolution is as good as
having emerged victorious.

The members of the Excavator
No.7 Work-team in Ryongyang Mine gave a full play to the collectivist
spirit and set an example of modeling all members of society on the
Juche idea.

One November day in the same
year Kim Jong Il
called the official again and urged him to make preparations to
confer the title of labor hero on all members of the work-team.

He pointed out that all of them
were entitled to be called heroes as their fighting spirit is heroic
and their exploits are also heroic.

Mentioning the term of labor of
the workers, he taught that how many years they had worked is not
problem. He added that the mark of hero is not the term of military
service or labor, but whether their fighting spirit and exploits are
heroic.

The title of hero can be
conferred not on a special man, selected man, but on all people
living in the embrace of the Workers’ Party of Korea, he said.

Before long the title of twice
labor hero was conferred on the leader of the Excavator No.7
Work-team of the Kumsan pit in Ryongyang Mine and the title of labor
hero on all other members of the work-team.

The first hero work-team of Mt.
Paekgum in the world was born like that under the great affection and
trust of Kim Jong Il.

Ordinary working people have
grown into heroes of the nation and the DPRK has become a country
with many heroes.

Today the respected Kim
Jong Un who is alike with
leader Kim Jong Il
praises the ordinary working people as heroes when they devoted their
all to the building of a prosperous nation for the country and the
people.

The window of the barracks of
soldiers is associated his warm affection for them.

In February 1995 he visited a
company by the sea.

He gave an instruction to ensure
that the soldiers sleep and rest in a warm barrack room and, for it,
to make the window small.

He stressed the need to study a
window design in the future.

He also remembered that during
the anti-Japanese armed struggle the windows of secret camps were all
of ventilating form and taught that the barracks should have fewer
and smaller windows.

Thereafter, the size of the
windows of barracks of the People’s Army was reduced suitably.

One day in November 1997 Kim
Jong Il called at a
People’s Army unit.

Upon arriving at the unit, he
acquainted himself with the state of window.

He passed his hand over the new
window frame and put the palm of his hand on a corner of the window.

He called the commander of the
unit and told him that there was a chink, saying if the chink were
not closed up properly, the cold wind would penetrate through it and
drop the temperature of the room.

Laying his hand on the chink,
the official felt a faint cold wind.

Kim Jong Il
told the official to close up the chink so as to prevent the soldiers
from catching cold.

He went on to say: You should
look after the soldiers with paternal affection so that the soldiers
do not feel any inconvenience in their service. Just for the purpose
there are Supreme Commander and you officials.

Like this, Kim
Jong Il took a scrupulous
care of the soldiers like their real father and mother before the
supreme commander of the revolutionary armed forces.

Today the respected Kim
Jong Un, supreme
commander of the Korean People’s Army visits soldiers without
let-up, saying it is a duty of commanding officers to take care of
the living of the soldiers leader Kim Jong Il hadloved them with
his whole life.

The respected Kim
Jong Un visits People’s
Army units continuously and his image is as like as Kim
Jong Il who had called
soldiers his sons and daughters.

Under the solicitude of the
respected Kim Jong Un,
supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army, the history of love
for soldiers will flow on and on without change.

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The Southwest Front Command of
the Korean People's Army issued the following pres release on Saturday:
The
south Korean puppet forces' grave intrusion into the waters of the West
Sea is again going beyond the tolerance limit in the season for
catching blue crab.
The number of the cases of intrusion of
warships of the south Korean navy into the territorial waters of the
DPRK is on the steady increase and the sphere of their intrusion is
gaining in depth as the days go by. Provocative and reckless firing and
shelling targeted against the DPRK are being committed from the five
islands and waters around them almost every day.
Many speedboats
of the south Korean navy intruded deep into the territorial waters of
the DPRK side along the maritime demarcation line southwest of Yonphyong
Island several times on Sept. 21 alone, kicking up a firing and
shelling racket.
The gravity of the situation is that though they
claimed those boats they encountered were obviously peaceful civilian
ones, the south Korean forces fired bullets and shells at them at
random.
Such hysteria is nothing but an adventurous military
provocation which can be orchestrated only by the south Korean military
warmongers accustomed to mimicking the bad habit of the U.S., their
master fond of saber-rattling.
What matters is that such military
provocations are being committed under the pretext of the disorderly
fishing operations of fishing boats of other country, not ones of the
DPRK.
Worse still, such provocations are being perpetrated by them
on the basis of lies and far-fetched assertions that fishing boats of
the DPRK crossed the illegal "northern limit line" which has never been
recognized.
The puppet forces have gone so despicable as to insist
that they were ships of the DPRK for fear of the country to which they
actually belonged.
They intruded into the DPRK's territorial
waters and fired shells and bullets. But they raised a hue and cry,
afraid of the possible countermeasure of the army of the DPRK. This
shows the pitiful position of the puppet military which goes reckless
while making far-fetched assertions to maintain the "northern limit
line" at any cost.
The Lee Myung Bak puppet regime and the
military warmongers would be well advised to realize their wretched
situation and stop running riot.
The Southwestern Front Command
has already received the operation order from the Supreme Command to
turn the West Sea of Korea into a deadfall of enemies and wage a great
war for national reunification if enemies fire even a bullet into the
area of the DPRK side. strike of the DPRK's front units which know of no limit. -0-
What remains to be done now is a powerful

Whilst I was visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at the invitation of the Korean Association of Social Scientists I witnessed the positive reality of the country. Visiting the Monument to Party Foundation one small thing happened that made me think very deeply about People's Korea, the Juche Idea, the Workers' Party of Korea and the great leaders of the Korean people , great generalissimo Kim Il Sung, eternal chairman Kim Jong Il and dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un. The Monument to the Party Foundation is itself a mighty edifice to the single-hearted unity of the Korean people around the Party and the leader. The DPRK is probably the only socialist country to have such a monument.
After seeing the monument we went to see the excellent cultural exhibition nearby. On the way back I noticed 2 magpies by the Party Foundation. In my country it is tradition that the sight of 2 magpies together represent good luck or joy(however 1 magpie on its own represents sorrow). So this seemed deeply symbolic that they were by the monument to Party Foundation. I explained to my young lady guide Miss Kim that it my country 2 magpies represent good luck. She laughed gently saying every day she saw 2 magpies together so she has good luck !
Indeed the entire people of the DPRK have good luck to live under the people-centred socialist system and under the leadership of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and the Workers' Party of Korea. In the DPRK people are given housing free of charge something which would be impossible in capitalist countries like the UK where the rent for a flat the size of shoebox in a rundown area is over £1000 per month !. Taxation was abolished in the DPRK in 1974 , again this is something impossible in my own country where the government increased VAT to 20% and there are rumours of tax increases. The price of a Metro ticket is unchanged since 2008 (actually before).People in the DPRK do not have to worry about getting a job as full employment is guarnteed by the state. Education at all levels from kindegarten to university is free of charge. Health-care including prescriptions is free of charge.

In the DPRK young people enjoy carefree lives. They do not have to worry about finding a job. They can go to university free of charge and can start their working lives without the massive burden of student debt. People enjoy themselves at Funfairs , at the Zoo and at theatres . Indeed during this visit to the DPRK which was my 8th visit I became convinced that the Korean people have a much better life than people in the UK. People in the DPRK go out in the evenings to enjoy themselves at amusement parks whereas in the UK in the evening many people would just sit at home (in their "little boxes" as one American poet once said) depressed and miserable(or drunk or on drugs). Frankly it is hard for people in the DPRK to imagine life in capitalist societies where mental depression, drug abuse ,degeneracy and suicide are rampant. Korean people do not know depression, negativity or cynicism.
During my meeting with the section chief of the KASS on my last day he explained to me that it is safe for children to walk by themselves on the streets of Pyongyang at any time of the day . This is not the case in London. In London parents are expected to drop and pick up their children from school because it is not safe at any time of the day for children to move about on their own for fear of them being attacked or kidnapped by paedophiles. In the UK the authorities do not seriously tackle the problem of paedophiles and there is a cult of sexual liberalism and permissiveness. In the DPRK one cannot see pornography on sale anywhere. In the UK some daily papers publish pornographic pictures of women which degrade them. The UK has a high rate of sexual crimes against women as a result but in the DPRK women are respected as the flower of the country.
The family is respected in the DPRK, in fact it is recognised as the basic cell of society and protected by law .Divorce is virtually unknown . This is in start contrast to the UK where 1 in 3 marriages end in divorce and family break-up causes massive social problems.
Of course in reality the happy lives of the Korean people are not due to good luck or chance or fate but to the people-centred Juche-based socialist system the legacy of the great leaders comrade Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il . The good luck of the Korean people is to have the Juche idea, authored by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung, that makes them masters of everything enabling them to lead independent and creative lives, and also, to have the Songun idea that defends the socialist system and the independence of the country and the people. Without the leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung, the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il, the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, the WPK , the Juche Idea and the Songun idea, the Korean people would not enjoy the happy ,joyous, vigourous and creative lives that I witnessed many times during my visit. Without the three great leaders of the Korean people Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un , and also the Juche idea, the Korea would be colony of imperialism and capitalism with the people living miserable lives. Indeed without great President Kim Il Sung Korea would not exist on the world map.

Therefore the real good luck of the Korean people of the Korean people is to have great eternal president Kim Il Sung , great eternal chairman Kim Jong Il and great respected Marshal Kim Jong Un as their leaders and to live under the
excellent superior people-centred socialist system established by the great leader
comrade Kim Il Sung !
LONG LIVE THE DPRK!
LONG LIVE THE WPK!
LONG LIVE THE JUCHE IDEA !
LONG LIVE DEAR RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN!

London 21st September 2012
The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK, Juche Idea Study Group of England and UK Korea Friendship Association issued the following joint statement commenting on the 67th anniversary since US troops landed in south Korea and occupied it.
On the 8th of September US troops landed in south Korea. Korea had already been liberated on the 15th of August by the partisan troops of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army commanded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. The Korean people were out to build a new life but in south Korea the US troops ruined this. Right from the start the US troops committed atrocities against the Korean people . One of their first actions was to suppress the people's committees that had been set up by the people in south Korea. They brutally suppressed the communist and progressive forces in south Korea killing many people . The US troops drenched Jeju Island in blood when the people there rose up. It is the US that created various fascist dictatorships in south Korea such as the Park Chung Hee fascist regime( a prototype for pro imperialist reactionary fascist dicatorships in the oppressed countries of the third world). It was the US that instigated the Kwangju massacre in 1980.
The US imperialists committed the very serious criminal action of dividing Korea, a homogeneous nation which had existed for more than 5,000 years. Indeed the Korean nation existed long before the US did. The occupation of south Korea by US troops today is the main factor causing Korea's division.
The 67 years of the occupation of south Korea by the US troops have been 67 years of misfortune and crime . They have been 67 years of oppression of the south Korean people by the US troops. The US troops in south Korea enjoy extra-territorial privilieges in south Korea which means in effect that they can act like colonial overlords in south Korea and can commit crimes such a murder, rape, theft and drug dealing with impunity. The south Korean people are forced to pay taxes for the "upkeep" of the US troops and their bases. This is simply a form of colonial tribute .
The presence of US troops in south Korea is strains the situation and threatens peace. As the DPRK Foreign Ministry statement of the 7th of September says the presence of US troops in south Korea is a clear manifestation of the hostile intent of the US towards the DPRK. The US wants to continue to occupy south Korea and even extend its occupation to north Korea in order to have a bridgehead into the Asian continent .
We, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA ,declare that the time for the withdrawal of US troops is long overdue in fact they should have never go to Korea a country thousands of miles from the US in the first place. Their presence in south Korea is unnecessary always has been and always will be. We
say it is time for the US troops to pack their bags and go home leaving the Korean people free to decided their own affairs and reunify the country.

The
UK Korean Friendship Association today issued the following statement
about the 63rdd anniversary of the passing away of Madame Kim Jong Suk,
the anti Japanese woman partisan leader and Mother of Korea.
Madame Kim Jong Suk's passing away was a great loss to the
Korean people as Madame Kim Jong Suk had played a key role in the
building of a new Juche Korea, a Korea independent of Japanese
imperalist oppression to say nothing of the anti-Japanese armed
struggle. Comrade Kim Jong Suk had distinguished herself in the
anti-Japanse armed struggle led by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung .
She was not only a leader of women partisans but also a crackshot and
an indomitable revolutionary anti-imperialist fighter.

Madame Kim Jong Suk always lived a humble life, sharing sweets and bitters with the ordinary people, both before and after liberation.
After liberation comrade Kim Jong Suk pioneered the cause of
Juche-orientated women's liberation , founding women's organisations
in Korea. She upheld the
teachings of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung so the women's question in Korea was solved in a unique Juche-orientated way.

Comrade Kim Jong Suk also played a role in Juche army
building and the defence of the new country.
Although Madame Kim Jong Suk passed away the
UK Korean Friendship Association remembers her for the great role she
played in Korea's liberation and building an new Juche People's Korea.Every single minute and second of Madame Kim Jong Suk's life was devoted to the cause of the revolution and the Korean nation. UK KFA joins with the Korean people and progressive people of the entire world in solemnly remembering her.

I visited the the Korean People's Army Military Equipment Exhibition on the 6th of September 2012 as part of the course organised by the Korean Association of Social Scientists . I marvelled at being invited to it. I thought as a foreigner I would not be allowed to visit it but I was . Of course I was not allowed to take a camera or ask about specifications of the equipment.
The newly built exhibition is in the south west area of Pyongyang . It was opened on the 15th of April in the presence of dear respected general Kim Jong Un. The exhibition had been constructed under his guidance. The exhibition covers a large area of ground and in fact were only able to see just a small part of it. A narrow gauge railway has been constructed in the exhibition to take people around. The main hall consists largely of scale models and some weapons. Outside there are real fighter aircraft , tanks and long range guns.
We were greeted by an attractive lady guide dressed in the uniform of the Korean People's Army. She made a short speech introducing the exhibition and then saluted. Once inside the exhibition we put overshoes on on to protect the floor. As you enter there is an amazing statue of the great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il with an automatic rifle in his hand. We paid respect to the statue. We were showed the special car that dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un intended to present to the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il for use at the exhibition. Very sadly the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il passed away prematurely before he could be presented with it. Those present felt pain at the mention of the passing away of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il and shed tears for him.
There was a life size model of the horse used by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. He was an excellent horseman. Eternal Chairman Kim Jong Il was a man of many great and considerable talents , a great military commander and strategist but also a philosopher ,writer and expert on the cinema.
There was a whole section devoted to the Strategic Rocket Command of the Korean People's Army. This was truly awesome. Here I was convinced that the DPRK can strike at the United States and destroy it .
The exhibition was a veritable treasure trove of military scale models. I have never seen so many well crafted scale models before in my life . There were sections represented every aspect of the KPA's role ; infantry, tanks, air force, navy, communications, medical, in fact everything. I was very impressed by the models of hovercraft and submarines. There were models of Air Koryo planes that were delightful to see. Also eye catching was the models of the the KPA rail transport section( I used to like model railways as a boy). All the arms and equipment of the KPA are made in the DPRK under the spirit of self-reliance.
One exhibit that caught my eye was a display of the liberation of Seoul by the Korean People's Army during the Fatherland Liberation War, the last Korean war. Here there is a life sized representation of a KPA tankman hoisted the DPRK flag on the Capitol house of Seoul on the 3rd day of the war. Let's hope that one day the flag of the DPRK will again flutter high over a liberated south Korea.
My guide told me quietly that the DPRK and KPA won a great victory at Yongphyong, on November 23rd 2010 under respected Marshal Kim Jong Un . The aggression and provocation of the south Korean puppets was smashed. Their behaviour reminded me of anti-social and unruly children who attacked their neighbours house only to get slapped around the head hard and run off crying to their parents(in this case the parent is the US imperialists).
The exhibition was full of surprises. There was a hall devoted to world military weapons. The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il had stressed that the serviceman must know the weapons of the enemy. In here there were mock-ups of Iraq and Afghanistan complete with the smell of war and wounded American troops.
The KPA Military Equipment Exhibition is indeed a centre for education in the Juche-orientated warfare and the Songun revolutionary idea. Visiting I became totally convinced that the DPRK can by its own efforts defeat the US imperialists militarily and reunify the country. Some people claim to "defend the DPRK " but doubt the military power of Songun Korea. However visiting the exhibition one could only stand in awe at the immense military power of socialist Korea. The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il built the DPRK into a socialist military power. This is being further consolidated by the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, brilliant commander and sun of Songun.

Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- U.S. Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney in his recent DPRK policy initiative blustered
that if he is elected president in future, he will settle the "nuclear
issue of north Korea" through harsh sanctions, blockade, isolation and
pressure.
U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate Obama in
his political program accused the DPRK of steadily developing nukes and
missile technology in disregard of its international commitment,
threatening that the DPRK should take a cool option: it should either
take steps for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a
verifiable manner or pay a price for failing to do so.
Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:
What the presidential candidates from the two reactionary parties cried out was prompted by their common objectives.
They
said so because the Obama administration and its preceding governments
experienced setbacks in their hostile policies toward the DPRK.
Romney,
instead of drawing a lesson from this, foolishly sought to mislead
public opinion by creating impression that if the sanctions and blockade
against the DPRK were tightened to garner votes in the forthcoming
election, this would help force it to dismantle its nukes.
The
above-mentioned outbursts prove that the U.S. politicians share the
political thinking that the U.S. should tighten the alliance with Japan
and the south Korean puppet regime, build a missile shield in East Asia
and thus contain its neighboring countries by force of arms by
reinforcing the justification for carrying out its strategy of attaching
importance to Asia-Pacific under the pretext of the DPRK's
"provocations" and "threat of nuclear development".
The two
parties' announcement of their hard-line policies toward the DPRK would
make the prospect of settling the nuclear issue dimmer.
The issue can never be resolved through such isolation, moves for suffocation, sanctions and blockade against the DPRK.
Everything depends on the U.S. withdrawal of its hostile policy toward the DPRK and the removal of its nuclear threat.
The U.S. authorities would be well advised to drop such miscalculation. -0-Commentary by ASSPUK and JISGE A brilliant commentary by our Korean comrades. It is also an exposure of the nature of so-called bourgeois democracy . Both parties are the same , have the same policies on Korea and are both capitalist parties. So US people have no choice when they vote, the whole thing is a fraud and farce.

London 16 September Juche 101
The ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA issued the following joint statement denouncing the criminal attempts of the south Korean puppet fascist regime of Lee Myung Bak to use to turn the "International PEN Conference " to be held in south Korea into an exercise of anti DPRK propaganda slandering the people-centred socialist system of the DPRK.
It is strange that the International PEN Conference should even be held in south Korea which is a graveyard of human rights , a fascist dictatorship. International PEN claims to support freedom of expression but in south Korea freedom of expression is ruthelessly trampled down by the Lee Myung Bak fascist clique. Ro Su Hui was brutally arrested as he returned to south Korea after visiting the DPRK . Earlier in 2010 they arrested the Rev Han Sang Ryol after he had visited the DPRK. Countless pro reunification patriots, Juche idea followers and progressive people have been arrested in south Korea and ina cerated under the so-called "national security law " of south Korea. South Korea was widely known in the 1960s and 1970s as a vile fascist regime without no parallel in the world as it murdered numerous people and faking up cases like the "People's Revolutionary Party " case. South Korea operates a crude and cheap copy of of 1950s style McCarthyism and is based upon grotesque and fanatical anti-communism which has no place in the modern world.

Writers and poets have been jailed many times in south Korea and even put to death. Why on earth does "International PEN" which is supposed to defend the freedom of expression of writers choose to holds its conference in south Korea ? Why is International PEN allowing itself to be drawn into the propaganda schemes of the south Korean fascist puppets.
The so-called "defectors from the north" that the south Korean reactionaries plan to draw into the International PEN conference are simply renegades and layabouts who betrayed their socialist country for a few dollars. In the DPRK a people -centred socialist system exists. It has no exploitation or oppression. Taxation was abolished and housing is given to people free of charge, who can be against this ?
The "International PEN " conference is being turned into a circus of anti DPRK propaganda and is being used as sideshow to prop up the ailing Lee Myung Bak regime.
We call for an end to the anti-socialist, anti DPRK "human rights " propaganda of the south Korean puppets and the imperialists.
